***** Google Gemini Gmail WARNING *****
Damned #Google is now pushing their invasive AI crap Gemini onto the Desktop version of #Gmail, with no apparent way for individual users to disable it (Admins for commercial users apparently do have a toggle). The Gemini sucker icon appears as a four-pointed "sprite" next to the settings gear. If you hover on it, you'll see a "Try Gemini" tooltip. DO NOT CLICK ON IT, unless you want Google's horrific lying, fascism-ridden misinformation machine sucking up your emails.
NOTE: Again, there is no apparent way for individual user to disable this. The sprite appears even if you have all Gmail "Smart" features disabled.
This is Google blatantly trying to force this garbage on users who have no idea what it is and how much damage it can do to them, presumably as a first step toward pushing their "AI Agents" to take control of your browsing. Of course, if this is your kink, go ahead and chain yourself to Gemini. But you've been warned.

@GottaLaff Trump will now establish a militia comprising Proud Boys, Oathkeepers, and other white nationalist thugs and send them to help patrol the border. Heck, he may even send them to the northern border for an eventual military assault to capture Canada as our 51st state.

So why is Ramaswamy suddenly gone? Simple. Neither trump nor his co-president Musk is able to be near a brown or black face for an extended period. The suggestion that they might all be in the same political or social group is anathema to these two racist fascists.#racism #fascists #Ramaswamy #DOGE
@time @top-stories-time Atta boy, Donald! Stick it to the red states who use FEMA more than anyone else.

NEW: Here is Judge Coughenour's temporary restraining order — in effect for the next 14 days — blocking Trump's EO to restrict birthright citizenship. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.wawd.343943/gov.uscourts.wawd.343943.43.0.pdf

Trump's administration is attacking Native Americans' birthright citizenship, citing outdated 19th-century laws to justify stripping them of their constitutional rights. By exploiting archaic language and misinterpreting the 14th Amendment, they’re attempting to redefine who qualifies as American. This move is a blatant assault on indigenous sovereignty and constitutional law.

@Huntn00 They're already insane, and they will accept anything that's fed to them. @crooksandliars

How any woman can vote for any Republican--or be with any man who does--is beyond me. They are pigs.

A federal judge temporarily blocks Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship
Taking advantage of the rare snow in south Alabama, we made a nonbinary Turkish snow person.
@Yoshi That's pretty much the case.

Don’t ever be lulled into thinking that ‘pro-choice’ states are immune from doing scary shit. And boy oh boy is this story scary.

Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994; mass shootings dropped by 43%.
George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004; mass shootings increased by 245%.
These numbers tell the whole story.

Trump's MAGA-themed cryptocurrency is already tanking, with accusations of fraud and insider trading. Launched with hype at his inauguration, the memecoin's collapse follows Trump's familiar pattern of overpromising and underdelivering, leaving supporters burned once again.

#Quebec just started unionizing the Amazon warehouses.
So Amazon is closing them so they can subcontract to gig worker delivery companies.
Those Canadians were on their way to stable, dignified jobs.
Now Amazon is there holding up the decapitated head of Quebec workers, waving it around for other jurisdictions to get a look at.
It's time for government intervention.
